The feeds were treated chemically with % NaoH solution,whereas Aspergillus niger was used to ferment corn cobs and wild reed samples. The chemical analysis showed that protein percentages of corn cobs and wild reed was increased significantly (P<.5) from 6.5% to 1.51% and 17.7% and from.1 %to 6.5% and.6% for both chemical and biological treatments respectively. The crude fiber percentages decreased significantly (P<.5) from 2.1% and 26.1% to 2.6% and 2.1% for chemical treatment and was 2.2% and 1.5% after biological treatment for both corn cobs and wild reed respectively. In Vitro dry matter and organic matter digestibility was increased significantly ( ) by using both treatments. The results of this study indicated an improvement in the nutritive value for corn cobs and wild reed when treated chemically with % NaOH and biologically with Aspergillus niger. 7
